This site is dedicated to the memory of George Cannings.1939-2002

George Cannings was born in Birmingham on August 21, 1939.Once mom Had passed away Dad was never the same,He was diagnosed as being termally ill himself just after mom passed away,However although we was told dad didnt have long he fought on for 14 months to he took his last breath,It was sad to see how dad was fading as he was always such a joker and full of life, he lived for his family, I Nursed my dad my self for 14 months,Dad will always be in our thoughts. He is much loved and will always be remembered by all his family.especially Children Michelle, Stephen and Julie. in-laws John and Sharon. and grandchildren Mark, Kyle, Kelly, Craig, and Ryan. Little did we know that morning God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. If we could have a lifetime wish and one dream that could come true We would pray to God with all our hearts just to see and speak to you A thousand words won’t bring you back We know because we’ve tried and neither will a million tears We know because we’ve cried You’ve left behind our broken hearts and precious memories too But we’ve never wanted memories We only wanted you..

Dad thinking of you this Christmas just like i do every day, I know you will be having a happy Heavenly Christmas because you will all be celebrating the birth of jesus. No one knows dad how much i love and miss you, no one knows i often shed a tear for you, no one knows how lonely it is with out you, thats because no one had you as there dad. I often wish i could turn back time and say all the things i never had the chance to say and to give you the biggest hug ever and tell you how much i love you and how proud i was to call you my dad.. i will never forget you dad, i love and miss you so so much... love your ever loving daughter Michelle XxX (((((HUGS))))) When I close my eyes, I think of you And now I know your up there in the sky That’s why its so blue But you should know that if I cry Its because I love you We all know that you are gone But really your just being born Because from here to thereon You are being recreated in heaven I promise they will take good care of you and I will have it be known of what I’ve sworn Because I love you The angels will take care of you But you will take care of him, her, and me As you watch our daily lives and help us through That’s just how it will be And we will always be thinking about you Because we love you You’re not just a memory You’re a spirit inside all of us So vibrantly alive And you will continue to thrive Until we meet again in that place that seems so distant But I know its existent Because God loves us You fought your fight You won your battles But this time God has other plans to make it all right So just follow that bright light And it will all be okay because You are just saving us a seat Because you love us
